Oozing the same potent allure as, say, the curve of a bikini-clad hip or tousled head of waves, a voluptuous mouth has always been a key factor in the bombshell beauty equation—and, if a closer look at our favorite film and music icons is any indication, it could even be argued that full lips are a stealth mark of predestined greatness. Take New Wave icon Brigitte Bardot, who did as much for beige lipstick as she did for bedhead with a prominent pout that proved irresistible with her gap-toothed smile—a winning combination on which models like Lara Stone and Lindsey Wixson would later build their careers.
